Vibrantz Technologies announced that effective Sept. 30, 2022, Scott Becker has elected to retire as president, Color Solutions. Effective Sept. 1, Barry Misquitta, president of the company’s Advanced Materials business, assumes the role of president, Color Solutions, and David Newton, vice president, global commercial for the specialty minerals and battery materials division within the company’s Advanced Materials segment, steps into the role of president, Advanced Materials. “Scott has been instrumental to the success of what is today Vibrantz’s Color Solutions segment and an integral member of our team since we became a new company in April of 2022,” said D. Michael Wilson, president and CEO at Vibrantz. “Our Color Solutions business is well positioned for further growth because of his commitment. We will miss Scott’s leadership, industry knowledge and experience, and wish him the very best in retirement.” Becker has more than 40 years of experience in the colorants space. Prior to Vibrantz, he was CEO of Chromaflo Technologies, the company he founded in 2012 and that was acquired by American Securities in 2016. Prior to Chromaflo, Becker was the CEO of Plasticolors, Inc., a privately held colorant company serving the industrial coatings and thermoset plastics markets from 1999 to 2012. He was also the president of Elementis Specialties from 1996 to 1999 and was with Pfizer Pigments earlier in his career. Becker serves on the board of the American Coatings Association and was previously a board member for the American Composite Manufacturers Association. “Barry’s involvement in the color solutions space while at Ferro and his experiences living and working abroad make him a natural fit to lead our global Color Solutions segment,” Wilson said. “He has a penchant for action, thinks strategically and possesses a strong technical background. Throughout his career, Barry has helped ensure world-class product and service delivery, continuously improved operations and driven growth.” Wilson added that Becker and Misquitta will work closely over the coming weeks to smoothly transition leadership responsibilities. “I am also very pleased to welcome David to our executive team as president of our Advanced Materials segment,” continued Wilson. “He has a strong history of enabling profitable commercial and strategic business development on a global scale and has learned our Advanced Materials business quickly.” Misquitta has been president, Advanced Materials at Vibrantz since April 2022. Prior to Vibrantz, he was VP and chief commercial officer at Ferro Corporation. Also at Ferro, Misquitta was VP, Americas and Asia, color solutions, innovation and strategic marketing from 2019 to 2020, and VP, Asia Pacific from 2015 to 2018. He spent four years with BASF in China as Asia-Pacific commercial director for energy storage materials and five years as vice president of energy storage materials at Novolyte. In 1999, Misquitta joined Ferro for the first time and held commercial leadership positions with oversight of the company’s pharmaceutical, fine chemicals, electrolytes and phosphines businesses. Newton has been VP, global commercial for Advanced Materials at Vibrantz since April 2022. Prior to Vibrantz, he spent over 12 years at Ingevity Corporation, where he was most recently VP of corporate strategy and renewable energy ventures from 2020 to 2022. Also at Ingevity, Newton spent four years as VP, commercial director and business manager for the company’s Performance Materials business unit and – from 2010 to 2017 – held various commercial and strategy leadership positions.
